Immoveable our hopes remain,
Within the veil our anchor lies;
Jesus, who died our life to gain,
Shall bear us safely to the skies.
Jesus is with us day by day,
Who for our rescue shed his blood;
Who then shall tear our hopes away,
Or part us from the love of God?
Not tribulation, nor distress,
Nor persecution, nor the sword,
Have robbed believers of their peace,
Or proved too mighty for the Lord.
Founded on Christ, secure we stand,
His love will order all things well,
And we shall gain the promised land,
Triumphant o’er the powers of hell.
Trials and dangers we must meet,
Our sins may grieve our Lord and Friend,
Yet will he not his own forget,
But love and save them to the end.
